Bellatrix was smirking at Andromeda as Ted Tonks entered the room, pure evil radiating from her. Ted sat on the couch next to his wife and placed the two mugs onto the coffee table in front of them. Andromeda was now glaring at her older sister, her hint of fear still obvious but she was clearly trying to hide it from her.
Bellatrix laughed cruelly "What's wrong?" she adopted her famous baby voice "Is poor ickle Andy scared of her big bad sister?" she let out another laugh.
Ted glared at Bellatrix, he went to open his mouth to speak when Andromeda placed her hand on his leg and looked at him, as if begging him not to. He sighed, nodded slightly and looked down to his wives hand placing his own on top of it. Bellatrix rolled her eyes at this display of love and support and looked down at her beautiful Walnut and dragon heartstring wand, pulling it out of its holster and slowly twirling it around her fingers, making red swirls crawl out of its tip and gracefully fall to the floor, disappearing as soon as they touched the ground.
Both Andromeda and Ted looked up at her wand. Ted was slightly wide eyed whilst his wife kept her cool in a way only a Black could, they both knew the pain and death it had already caused. But they had to be okay, Bellatrix couldn't hurt them, for their daughters sake.
Andromeda had never told her eldest sister that she had a niece, in fact she did everything in her power to make sure she didn't know and never would know. She was terrified that if Bellatrix- or any of her family for that matter - had found out that they were related to a half-blood daughter of a "Blood-Traitor" and "Mudblood" they would soon see to it that this child would no longer exist. And this was exactly why Andromeda and Ted Tonks where at this moment terrified, not for their own lives but for that of their poor, defenseless, innocent, five-year-old daughter currently, unknown to them, stood directly outside the door trying to hear what was going on.
Andromeda cleared her throat and looked away from Bellatrix's wand and up to her face, being careful not to look her directly in the eyes, although she knew occlumency she didn't want to risk it. "Bellatrix . . ."
Bellatrix looked at her sister, a cruel twisted look on her face "Andromeda."
Andromeda took a deep breath "What is it you came here for . . . exactly?"
Bellatrix giggled, not a cute and innocent giggle that Nymphadora would produce, but a pure evil menacing giggle, a taunt.
"Well . . . little sister," she smirked as she watched Andromeda flinch at that last word "I've been told, by the Dark lord," again she giggled as she watched both Andromeda's and Ted's eyes grow wide in fear "to kill you."
"NO!" Ted jumped up and stood infront of his wife, his wand drawn and pointed at Bellatrix, but she was too quick for him, before he could even shout his first spell she had disarmed him "Crucio!"
Ted fell to the floor writhing in pain. "Bellatrix stop this! Now!" Andromeda was soon at her husbands side, wand drawn, trying to help him with no success.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Mean while out in the corridor Nymphadora was glaring at the door, stupid adults . . . not letting me know what's going on . . . I'm five not three! She thought to herself, her hair now a bright red.
Suddenly a loud "Crucio!" was heard from the living room.
Nymphadora's hair suddenly turned white. She'd heard about that curse before, all she knew was that it was very bad and hurt people a lot . . . oh and that those dead meeters used them . . . or was it dead eaters? . . . Something to do with dead . . . Dora shook her head as she tried to concentrate on the matter at hand. This was bad, very bad. She knew that the curse was shouted by the woman that she didn't know, she was terrified, she ran up to the door and was about to try to open it when she heard more screams.
"Bellatrix stop this! Now!" That was definitely her mother's voice. Nymphadora backed up against the wall, wanting to cry and scream for help but too terrified to even move.
Suddenly there was a woman, Andromeda's no doubt, scream, a loud BANG and the sound of smashing glass.
Nymphadora clenched her fists, and ran at the door, she didn't know how she could but she had to at least try to help her parents, after all that's what her mother had always told her, to try no matter how hard things looked. With all her might she ran at the door and started pounding her little fists at it as hard as she could.
"Mummy! Daddy!" She screamed and screamed as loud as she could "MUUUUUUM! DAAAAAD!"
"WHAT!?" It was the womans voice again, she sounded disgusted, shocked and even angry as she heard the voice of poor little Nymphadora calling for her parents "Bombarda Maxima!"
The door flew off it's hinges forcing Nymphadora to jump out of the way. She fell to the floor grazing her knees but she was far too worried about her parents to stay down for too long and she'd fell over loads of times before, she'd be fine.
She quickly jumped up, rolling up the sleeves to her dress and ran into the door way.
In front of her lay a horrific scene for a five-year-old to see. Her father was curled up in agony on the floor, looking up at her wide eyes trying to say something Nymphadora couldn't quite hear. She looked across the room, there sat her mother in a heap at the bottom of the, now smashed, glass cabinets, blood trickling down her head.
She tore her eyes away from her for a moment to see the crazed look of Bellatrix Lestrange staring at her, her eyes wide with disgust and shock. After a few moments a cruel and evil smirk twisted on her face.
I swear these things shrink when you put them onto here! XD
Anyway, please review, it keeps me alive. :D
